Right bit of an update.
Sourced a k&n gen II induction kit for less than 20 quid. No heat shield but its much better than my other air filter.
Decided to give it a well deserved clean. The sahara polluted mucky rain that came down over two days made a very bad mess.
I wish i had of took pics before i washed it. Taken on my shitty phone camera.
The haze is still pretty bad. Gave it a good 3 hour polish session with Autoglym paint renovator followed by Autoglym super resin polish.
It removed a good wack of the scratches but i really dont think i can get it any better without a machine polisher.
Also the above pic of the back arch is pissing me off. The lad who had this before me decided to roll the arches without a heat gun. Its chipped like that both sides and i have no idea what to do with it.
On a bad note i think i need the arches welding as there seems to be a decent amount of rust from inside the boot on both arches. Quite small sections but i am hoping to get in there next weekend, clean it all off and have a look how bad the damage is.
Still to do.
Fit new starter motor.
Gloss black front and rear bump strips.
Remove the remainder of stickers on passenger/drivers doors.
Ecu/battery covers
New throttle cable
New clutch cable
Fit cold air intake.
I was close to buying these but i dunno if they would suit the car or not. maybe some one photo shop them for me?
